When Chen Shuhua heard his foolish son retort and disobey him, he was so angry that he slammed his fist on the table, stood up, pointed at Lin Wanxing, and began to yell: "Lin Wanxing, don't forget that I am your father. I gave birth to you and raised you. Is this how you repay me? You took away Aunt Xu Feng and Sister Xueping's shares. How am I supposed to face them?"
“Look at yourself now, so cold-hearted and ungrateful. You were raised by Aunt Xu Feng, who is like your mother, and yet you treat her like this.”
Chen Shuhua was there, vehemently accusing Lin Wanxing, saying it was all Lin Wanxing's fault and that he had done nothing wrong. He was truly shameless in saying all this.
Lin Wanxing was terrified by his sudden outburst of anger. As Chen Shuhua shouted, he couldn't help but shrink back and cautiously hide next to Shen Huai'an.
Shen Huai'an completely shielded Lin Wanxing behind him, and said with a cold smile and extremely calm tone: "Chairman Chen, what gives you the right to scold him? Don't you even look at yourself in the mirror?"
"How dare you call yourself a father? Have you ever really raised Xingxing properly? Chen Xueping is a little princess you cherish, but what is Xingxing? He's your stupid son who's locked in the attic and can't be seen by anyone. He's a pawn you can discard and use at any time. When he's useful, you call him to your side; when he's useless, you push him away."
"When you pushed him to me, did you ever think that he was your son? I am a destitute cripple. You didn't want to marry your daughter to me, so you pushed Xingxing to me. Did you ever consider his future even a little bit?"
"How dare you mention that he is his father? Do I need to expose all the disgusting things you've done? Let's not make things too ugly. I've given you plenty of face. Don't take this lying down, Mr. Chen."
“Xingxing has nothing to do with you anymore. I am her husband. If you have any problems, you can come to me. Don’t use your status as her father to hold her hostage anymore.”
Chen Shuhua glared at Shen Huai'an, his resentment towards Shen Huai'an growing stronger. Now even a cripple was bullying him, and he found it hard to swallow this insult.
Chen Shuhua sneered, "President Shen, don't put it so harshly. What does it have to do with you if I discipline my own son?"
“My son is marrying you, not being sold to you. I can’t say anything to him.”
Lin Wanxing grabbed Shen Huai'an's clothes, gritted his teeth and shouted, "I sold myself to my second brother. I have nothing to do with you anymore. You are an unfit husband and an unfit father. I have nothing to do with you."
“You’re not nice to me at all. Aunt Chen beats me, my sister bullies me, and even the servants can openly say that I have mental problems. You just ignore them all and don’t care about me. Only my second brother is good to me. I’m not stupid, not stupid at all.”
“I know my aunt and sister don’t like me, and I know you don’t treat me like a son. You’re not my dad at all; you’re Chen Xueping’s dad. I have my second brother now, so I don’t need to go back to the Chen family anymore, and I don’t want anything to do with you.”
Lin Wanxing spoke these words clearly and steadily. He did not feel the slightest fear. On the contrary, he became bolder because his second brother was by his side.
Because he felt that he had someone backing him up, and he no longer had to live in fear and timidity, always watching other people's expressions.
Chen Shuhua gritted her teeth in anger, "You unfilial son, you are simply unfilial."
Shen Huai'an calmly replied, "If a father is not loving, then a son will certainly not be filial. Stop using your father's status as an excuse. You should worry about your good daughter instead."
"Chairman Chen, I advise you to think twice." After saying that, Shen Huai'an grabbed Lin Wanxing's hand and walked out, ignoring Chen Shuhua's curses behind them. Neither of them turned around.
Lin Wanxing felt very happy today. It was the first time in his life that he had felt so happy and relaxed. In an instant, he felt that he was finally free. He had taken back the assets and shares that his mother had left him, and he had also severed ties with the Chen family.
He recalled the feeling of being locked in the attic, unable to call out to anyone, but all of that was in the past.
He will stay by his second brother's side and take good care of him from now on. He will do his best to take care of his second brother.
As Shen Huai'an sat in the car, he thought about how Xingxing should have received the ring, so why hadn't he given it to him yet?
"Xingxing, didn't you say you wanted me to give you a gift last time? Why haven't you given it to me yet after so long? Don't you want to give it to me anymore? Are you just trying to appease your second brother?"
Sitting in the car, Shen Huai'an asked quietly. He had been planning this for so long, hoping that Xingxing would give him a ring.
Lin Wanxing thought for a moment, hesitating about what to give as a gift.
Lin Wanxing recalled the way her second brother had flung his fountain pen earlier. A fountain pen should be a gift; her second brother's fountain pen was no longer working properly.
"Of course I'm not just flattering you. I keep my word. There's no rush for the gift; I'll buy it for you tomorrow."
Shen Huai'an was very disappointed; the light in his eyes dimmed instantly. He asked, "Should we buy it?"
Lin Wanxing replied with a smile, "Otherwise what? Should I steal or rob? Don't worry, Second Brother, I'll pick a really great gift for you, I guarantee you'll like it."
Shen Huai'an was completely devastated. He slumped down and sighed.
The ring he's been longing for, why won't Xingxing deliver it? Where did things go wrong?
The custom-made rings are so beautiful! They look so dazzling on their hands, they'll dazzle outsiders and prevent them from gossiping behind their backs.
What would Xingxing buy for himself? Although it was an unknown gift, he had no expectations and couldn't be happy at all.
Lin Wanxing looked down at his phone, then glanced at Shen Huai'an: "Second brother, what's wrong?"
Shen Huai'an's expression changed; he looked somewhat unhappy. Lin Wanxing didn't know why he suddenly acted this way, so he asked, "Second Brother, are you unhappy?"
Shen Huai'an sighed again, "No, I'm just a little tired."
Lin Wanxing leaned closer to look at him carefully. After looking at him for a while, he said, "But you look obviously unhappy. Did something happen? Did I say something wrong and upset you? Or did I do something wrong?"
Shen Huai'an replied curtly, "No."
